Would you turn down $1 million for sexy.com? - GoFuckYourself.com

DomBuyer · 05-03-2005, 06:09 AM

That's what I offered Walter yesterday.

:food-smil

He turned me down.

A few years ago, I offered him $250k.

He turned me down.

Know what he said?:

"Dombuyer, you always make it hard for me to say no...but I figure anything you're interested in I should hold on to."

WTF???

Time for a lower profile

Roald · 05-03-2005, 06:11 AM

Depends on the situation but I asume he is right when he says when you're interested in it he should hold on ;)))

Fake Nick · 05-03-2005, 06:12 AM

offer him $10 million and you probably have a deal

polish_aristocrat · 05-03-2005, 06:12 AM

haha so this is the domain you were talking about 3 days ago?

i remember just 2 years ago it was a fun chatroom site, now at least he makes some mony with it

I've dealt with Walter for some time, and he's such a patient guy. Loads of incredible names, and very careful only to sell when he really wants to. And just around the time of that awful chatroom I started to cry about it and pester him.

But still, time to go stealth

This is one of them. There's another I'm waiting on that is almost as good, and certainly much cheaper.

Drake · 05-03-2005, 06:16 AM

Wow, any idea what price he wants for it?

Nicky · 05-03-2005, 06:17 AM

wow, $1mil I dont think id turn that down

adonthenet · 05-03-2005, 06:30 AM

damn he should accapt it.

shuki · 05-03-2005, 06:32 AM

That is one hell of an offer

GoodStuff · 05-03-2005, 06:32 AM

If he needed the money he wouldn't own that domain.

Theo · 05-03-2005, 06:33 AM

i wouldnt sell it either for $1mil

JFK · 05-03-2005, 06:33 AM

Pretty strong offer

shuki · 05-03-2005, 06:33 AM

What feed does he have up on Sexy.com?

pornstar2pac · 05-03-2005, 06:34 AM

I thought I was the dumbest idiot on the planet. this guy takes the title.

Dom, is it worth it to look at .tv domain names at all?

also , 4-5 years from now I'm going to turn down your offer of $1,000,000 for

online-poker.in

DomBuyer · 05-03-2005, 06:36 AM

LOL, he just changed the page last night after we spoke. He had it forwarded to another domain with a static ppc page.

He rarely gives out asking prices. I think maybe two times in the years I've got him to throw me a price and when he did and I said "sold" he was like..."Hmmm, maybe that was too low, let me think about it."

When you got his portfolio, you write the ticket on a sale.

brand0n · 05-03-2005, 06:40 AM

that must of been tuff for him to say no 2

kenny · 05-03-2005, 06:43 AM

is "sexy.com" is worth more then a million dollars then I wonder what "sex.com" is worth?

It's all relative.

You have to remember that this guy owns a TON of monster names, and he's never seemed to need the money. So why would you ever sell yourself short on the baby of your portfolio.

Of course, yes, that's right, I too think he is CRAZY!!! TOTALLY INSANE NOT TO SELL.

As for .tv domains: Um. no.

Say you had the exact same website on both "sexy.com" and "sex.com" would the typins from sex.com ever justify what the name costed you?

Or are these extreme amounts just a kind of fictitious value.

Tango · 05-03-2005, 08:45 AM

you should have met him in person for the offer - rather than offer anything via email or online messenger

then you'd be able to counter the objections

especially for that type of $ a plane trip is well worth it

His objection was: not enough moolah. Ya' think if I shook his hand firmly and slapped his back, I could have got it?

I pride myself on never wasting time talking on the phone or meeting people, just offering them as much filthy lucre as they can stuff inside their shoebox.

slapass · 05-03-2005, 09:02 AM

I just realized I do not understand the domain game at all. He has SE traffic in there and does not have 10k a day in hits. That is worth 1 mil? The name is not really commercial in nature. At least not to me. I am a dope on this and need to focus on my core skills. Thanks for pointing this out.

Repetitive Monkey · 05-03-2005, 09:03 AM

Offer me $1 mill for clicktrough.com, please.

Or $1k even.

Furious_Male · 05-03-2005, 09:07 AM

Hes obviously doing well and doesn't need the money. Pretty impressive offer though.

99 indexed pages and pr of 4 is bound to turn up one search. But it should turn up more.

I would also hold on to that name

I just wasn't satisfied with poop.com

webair · 05-03-2005, 09:41 AM

he'll hold out and probably will get a better off he obviously doesnt need the money. he does have some sick name!

triumph · 05-03-2005, 09:42 AM

that name is worth more than 1 mill.

about 5-7 years ago Sex.com was sold for 9 million bux... i think it was an internal sale, like from entity to entity essentially owned by Stephen Cohen at the time.. maybe for publicity... not sure its current value...

as far as this walter guy not selling for 1mil... hey.. if he doesnt *need* the cash, im sure he realizes in 5-10 years it he'll be getting offers 4 times that amount...

I agree it probably will be worth more in time.. but then again alot can happen in 5-10 years and a million dollars seems like a fair shake for that name.

Exactly. There's no way you can look even five years down the road and safely assume type-in names will last that long.

That's Borgos. Forget about him.

You offered him $500 on name that gets 833 in Overture with the .com??

Dont worry, I will read you guide 100 times, spend 8 hours a day, adopt, adapt and innovate till were both bringing in more money then ever

The only thing I need to workon is judging the value of the domains im trying for, so I can perfect my sales pitch to them

I believe it was stolen .. and it took something like 3 years for the company to get it back ..during that time the guy that stole it made 6 million from the domain traffic ... the judge put an estimated value on the URL of $40 million as a biz ... not bad .

Basic_man · 05-03-2005, 10:49 AM
